Why is it important?

Our findings show that there is a direct relationship between educational expectations and achievement, but not for concerted cultivation. However, results also indicate that educational expectations mediate the relationship between a child’s social background and academic achievement. These results provide insights into the family’s role in the transmission of educational advantage and contribute to the larger public and scholarly debate regarding explanations for the stratification of educational outcomes.
